Sleepless 01:37
I'm sick of waking up inside my own dreams I know I'm just escaping from me And the person I was meant to be I'm losing count of ways to forgive myself When I should have some faith in the life I lead Where do our hearts go when this is over? Are we just like scattered leaves in the wind? Are we taken with tides of the ocean? As the waves come in I'll try to keep my head above the swell

We've been through this a thousand times And I'm not tired yet I don't just want to leave this here I couldn't live with the regret I think we lay asleep for years Time flew past our eyes And I would give up everything For just one more minute of your time So take me back to your house It's where I want to be That old look in your eyes that burned a hole through me I think we both finally know what it's like to be alone One more time I promise, I promise I'll be gone It's just something I'm missing It's in those blue eyes of yours Please take my hand And Ill follow you home Dig your nails into my bones When we've finished this dance Like so many other times before We'll lock our arms And cross our fingers And hope there's something more And when we've finished this dance Like so many other times before I'd pull you so close I'd never let you go So take me back to your house It͛'s where I want to be That old look in your eyes that burned a hole through me I think we both finally know what it's like to be alone One more time I promise, I promise I'll be gone Dance a while longer, I'll miss you by my side Dance a while longer now, I can't say goodbye I'll never get to your house It's out of reach for me That look in those blue eyes, it's finally finished me I think we both finally know what it's like to be alone This is it I promise, I promise that I'm gone

In Colour 03:59
I can remember the taste That morning your heart fell from my hands I can still see your face And the way my soul fell as I let you go The sun never touches us Still it climbs through my windows I let the night cover us Because it knew our names so well All our colours were so bright Still the sun never touched us But the night would cover us It knew our names so well We made a friend of the night's sky Casting long shadows in the moonlight But that͛s not how it ended That's not how I thought I'd deal with the pain I was looking at you You were looking at me And we knew we weren't the same The sun began to rise on us It climbed through our windows The night couldn't cover us It had forgotten our names The sun had swallowed our night It showed us who we really were We hoped for the best But all our colours started to run We walked down your old street And all our colours started to run Following signs into our older life Our colours bled into each other Until there was nothing left You go down that old street Following signs into an older life Your drive down that old street And all you remember was the taste It's such a bitter taste We let our colours run and bleed into each other When I look at all we've done, it's just the taste is all that's left.

Waiting 02:18
Hanging on the end of the phone I'm hanging on your every word Dying to see you Dying in this light Wanting to hear your voice Find new ways to tell me it's okay Wanting to hear you Waiting to hear myself Waiting to start again As the nights get darker I'll be waiting for our colours to run As the nights get lighter I'll still be waiting For my heart to burst

Broken 04:19 video
Lying awake inside my own dreams Left stranded in mid-July Waiting to hear your words Still hanging on that line I've lost count of the years I've lost sight of what I'm doing here Waiting to hear your words Still hanging on that line It's like I spend my whole life waiting for nothing Waiting for my heart to burst When our Spring began You made the cherry blossoms shine And hope hung heavy in the morning sun Then our summer arrived And you left without giving a sign You made the leaves change too soon But it would take too much to hate you Because I'm still in love Just tied to your heart strings Hanging on every word Hide my face Throw what's left of me to the wind Take me down to the harbour And cast me off to sea Because I'm still in love Just tied to your heart strings Pulling tighter every single day Because I'm still in love Just tied to your heart strings Hanging on every single word you say How will there be a tomorrow, when you make me feel there was no today? So just take me down to the old harbour I'll take my heart with me And cast me off into the open water And when we all drift out to sea I hope it all sinks to the bottom Along with everything that you've given me

There's that lump in my throat The one that I get when I'm sat all alone Brought to me by anxiety and a life unknown It's the thought of death it completely surrounds me It never lets me go Wait 'til tomorrow, they say But what if it doesn't come Because so many things keep ending As if they'd never really begun Writing out all these useless words As if they'll ever mean anything anyway Writing out words that I͛m never going to read again Filled with "yours" and "mine" and "yesterday" And what happened to them Reliving old stories I'm too entrenched in my past Reliving my youth I think I'm just too long in the tooth I'm never looking forward I͛m always looking back Nostalgic thoughts surround me As if I'll somehow get it all back It's these thoughts I carry with me, they weigh on me in my bed About life and death and dying And the soil pouring over my head I'm always counting down I'm always ready to think the worst Tied to old stories Tied to my youth Reliving old stories Reliving my youth It's these thoughts I carry with me, they weigh on me in my bed About life and death and dying and the soil pouring over my head

Lost 03:57
If I could measure the distance Between the lightness and the shade I could make sense of this dark And I could find my way It felt like it was raining But only inside my head Waiting in that dark room For her songs to guide my way The world won't listen anymore Not the way that you think it should The rain falls in the same way Like it did when I was young Sitting in that same old room And just sang about love I'm sure if I could see the stars They might shine for me But all I feel is the rain And it soaks me to my skin It seemed like the song played for hours It turned and it turned and it turned And I remember it skipped at the part where she sang about love And I'm still in that room Next to that skipping record I'm still in that room Where the minutes seem like hours The song plays loud It drowns out my pity I remember the day and I remember the hour I remember the day and I remember the hour It's a vice squeezing on my skull I remember the minute and I remember the second And how it came apart so fast These thoughts will last me my whole life These thoughts will plague me my whole life My heart it beats in the same way Beating out of time My hearts stops beating in my sleep

I drew a line in the wet sand Then watched the smoke rise in the distance Listening to time standing still The birds in the air Sing the songs of my childhood Listening to time standing still The grey smoke rises It carries my thoughts with it into the air My childhood carried on the breeze The smell of the fire Makes me long to see your face It's moments like this where I think I'll forget you I long for the scraped knees I long for your kind face Lifting me up out the sand The comfort of your hands It's all lost to the fire We're all just carried in the smoke You were lost to the fire Take my hand I'm still finding it hard to understand you're not here But I can still feel you next to me Oh please take my hand I'm still finding it hard to understand You're not here Death touches us, from the moment we begin to love I dream you take my hand And I swear I can hear your voice Carried on the breeze And when we're both lost to the fire At least we'll be lost together

Memorial 04:25
I've woken up cold Feeling like the loneliest boy in the world Waking up freezing Knowing that you're gone I'm woken up sick to stomach Knowing I can never see you again Waking up so lonely Knowing that you're gone I'm having one way conversations with you inside my head Repeating those words That fucking kill me to have never said It's these thoughts that I carry with me It's that knot in my stomach, it's the pain that surrounds me I just wish I could say this to you That after everything that you put us through I thought that the worst in me was everything that I got from you (I just missed the chance to tell you) If I scream loud enough, do you think you could hear me? And I could tell you one last time how much you meant to me And how just one little word would help me write a better ending And I could tell you one last time how much you meant to me And I could say that I tried my best, and it would help me put you to rest There is a light and it guides us through All the heartache that life decides to throw at you Now I can sing our songs So much louder than before They will keep you with me The soil won't matter any more
